How to upload a file
editYou’ll find a link to the Data Visualizer on the Elasticsearch Getting Started page.
Clicking Upload a file opens the Data Visualizer UI.
Drag a file into the upload area or click Select or drag and drop a file to choose a file from your computer.
The file is uploaded and analyzed. The Data Visualizer displays the first 1000 rows of the file. You can inspect the data and make any necessary changes before importing it. Click Import continue the process.
On the next screen, give your index a name and click Import.
This process will create an index and import the data into Elasticsearch. Once your data is in Elasticsearch, you can start exploring it, see Explore your data for more information.
The upload feature is not intended for use as part of a repeated production process, but rather for the initial exploration of your data.
